METAL Application filed October 10 all fro/7mm t may concern:

Be it known that l, ALrHoivsUs FIEN, a citizen ot the United States, residing in the borough of the Bronx, ot the city of New York, inthe State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Metal lVindows, ot which the following is a specification, reference being had to thev acc nipanying drawing, forming a part hereof.

This invention relates to hollow metal window frames of the general construction indicated in applications ttor Letters Patent olf the United States, Serial No. 24,747, tiled April 2l, 1925, and Serial No. 46,725, tiled luly 2S), 1925. lVhen windows otthis general construction are installed on the job, it sometimes happens that by reason ot slight variations in the width of the window openings in the masonry ot the building, tor example, the window sashes do not lit properly in the window trames, being sometimes capable of undue movement horizontally in the plane oi the sash. lt is the object orf this invention to provide means whereby adjustment can be made readily to compensate for such variations in width and to secure the proper lit of the sash in the frame. The general construction illustrated in the applications above mentioned, in which the removable pulley stile is supported in the window jamb by internal braf es ot relatively heavy metal, lends itselil to the application ol the present improvement, in accordance with which each ot such internal braces is slotted on two lines at one so as to torni a tongue which can be bent slightly from the plane ot the brace toward the sash so as to press the removable pulley stile more or less towardthe sash and so talle up the looseness which might otherwise be present, the pulley stile beingl held in place as usual by screws which hold it tightly against the support thus iturnished by the tongues of the braces. rl"he invention will be more fully explained hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawing in which it is illustrated and in which:

Figure l is a view in 'lf-front elevation, partly broken away and partly in vertical section, and also broken out to save space, of the upper, middle and lower portions of a window jamb to which the present. improve- WINDOW.

ment is applied, the irregular plane of section being indicated by the broken line 1 1 ol Figure 2.

li1 igure 2 is a view in sectional elevation, the irregular' plane of section being indicated by the. broken line 2-2 of lFigure l.

Figure 3 is a view in horizontal section on the plane indicated by the broken line 3-3 of Figure l.

ln/thev embodiment of the invention illustrated, the amb vis shown as having its main part o formed of sheet metal bent in the usual form and as having a removable, grooved pulley stile, made in two parts 1, upper and lower, as described in said application, Serial No. 46,725 and as clearly shown in the accompanying drawing, the pulley stile engaging the main body o, of the jamb as usual and as indicated in Figure Vertical channels or grooves o1, a2, o3 and at are formed, as usual, in the face ot the jainb and ot the pulley stile 'for cooperation with the vertical edges of the upper and lower sashes c and c1. ln the application, Serial No. 24,747, the pulley stile is supposed to be in one piece from the head to the foot of the window frame, being supported at intervals by the internal braces above referred to, one such brace Z being shown in the present drawing at the head 0l the window traine and another at the toot, such braces serving to stillen the jainb as usual and to support the pulley stile as hereinafter explained. ln the application, Serial lilo. 46,?25, the pulley stile is also supported at the head and at the loot of the window trame by such an internal brace (Z, but the pulley stile is shown as made in two parts upper and lower, and the lower end of the upper part and the upper end of the lower part are shown as secured to and supported by what is called in said application a wedge block e, which is itself supported by a similar internal brace d.

In the present improved construction each of the internal braces d, except that one which supports the block e, is formed with a tongue Z1 at one edge, as by slotting on two vertical lines, as at (Z2, which is capable oi' being bent from the plane of the brace toward the sash or window opening so as to torni a support for the removable pulley stile, shown in Figure 3, bearing, in the construction shown, against the rear wall of the channels C02 and a?. The tongue may also :be formed with a trip Z3 to stand between the channels a2 and a3 and so align the pulley stile. llt will be evident that by bending the tongue more or less toward the sash or window opening, as the conditions of each case require, the pulley stile will be supported by the tongue in such position as to compensate for variations in width and thereby take up such looseness of lit as may be objectionable. The pulley stile is secured to the braces d as usual, as `by screws the pulley stile ybeing held thereby firmly against the tongues in their adjusted positions. in the oase of the block e and the brace which supports it, the adjacent ends of the two parts of the pulley stile are secured to the block as usual by screws f1, the block itself being` secured by a screw` f2 to the corresponding .brace d. At this point the desired compensation may be effected by placing shims, not necessary to be shown, between the block e and the brace Z which supports it. y

It will be noted that in Figure l of the drawing the thickness and size of the lower brace d are somewhat exaggerated, as compared with the upper brace CZ, for the sake of great clearness in illustration.

l claim as my invention:

l. ln a hollow metal window having a jamb with a removable pulley stile7 a heavy brace within the jamb, said brace being formed with a tongue bendable to support the pulley stile away from the plane of the brace.

2. ln a hollow metal window having a jamb with a removable, groOved pulley stile, a heavy brace within the liamb formed with a tongue bendable from the plane of the jamb to support the pulley stile by contact with the rear wall of one of the grooves 0l the pulley stile..

8. In a hollow metal window having a jamb with a removable, grooved pulley stile, a heavy brace within the amb and formed with a tongue bendable from the plane of the brace to support the pulley stile by contact with the rear walls oi' two of the grooves or the pulley stile and with a tip to enter between the walls of such grooves to align the pulley stiles.
